Kimveka (Mahabharata)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article admits to being unverifiable and failing WP:V when it says According to legend, of Ved Vyasa, she is mentioned unnamed in some of the epics of Mahabharata. If she is unnamed I don't see any reason why we are then giving her a name... If we don't know the answer, it's never appropriate to just make the answer up.

Further issue is that the article has been copied and pasted completely from Bharatpedia, which is user-generated and unreliable. The only mention I can find of Kimveka is [https://bhagavanbhakthi.com/2022/10/pandavas-and-their-children-upapandavas-names/#:~:text=Babruvahana%20wife%20name%20is%20Kimveka,son%20named%20Parikshita%20(Parikshit). Bhagavan Bhakthi] but this source considers itself to be a personal blog and is therefore unreliable per WP:BLOG. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 09:57, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment -- If she was actually named in Mahabharata, I might have suggested keeping or redirecting to a relative. However she seems to come from some kind of peripheral material that is almost certainly a species of ancient original research.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
